Been pretty busy, so I haven't had time to write a tutorial on how this was made, but I will tell you that I am having fun with aluminum cans!!!!
The backplate, leaf and flower are all made out of a "Monster" aluminum can.
 |
| Washed out the cans |
 |
| Cut them open and flattened them |
 |
| Used my Cuttlebug and Sizzix Dies to cut Flowers and Leaves |
 |
| Colored them with Alcohol Inks |
I'm still experimenting with this aluminum media, but I'm having a blast. I'm working on incorporating these flowers on a canvas that I will share when it's done.... well, if I like it , hahaha.

DeleteLOL I knew you would like your Cuttlebug. I have done this but never made anything with them, will have to remedy that now that I see your beautiful piece. I LOVE it!
